Our role in the community includes being good stewards of public and private funds and reflecting that in the delivery of our programs. We have a dedicated staff, Board, and the support of community stakeholders”, she continued. “I’m looking forward to serving TCCAP in the role of CEO and leading the agency in this next chapter of our growth.”
 
Boschen said,” “I observe the work that TCCAP does for the community, and I respect and admire the people who do such amazing work. I see it every day. I wouldn’t be able to leave at this point if our organization hadn’t made the remarkable progress that we have. I was hired for a specific purpose at TCCAP – to bring financial and organizational stability. With the team we have that purpose has been substantially completed, so we are ready to transition to new leadership to keep the momentum going and look for new opportunities for our community. I look forward to spending my remaining few months continuing our work and preparing the organization for a smooth transition. Jeanne is a great and natural choice given the better place where the organization is headed.”
